Enye yezinto ezikhethiweyo zokukhangela kwiikholeji zezicelo zabakhokeli abavakalisi ukuba babone "umfundi wesikolo sokuqala." Amandla amaninzi kunye nemali esetyenziselwa ukufikelela kule nxalenye yomhlaba wesicelo sicelo njengoko izikolo zifuna ukuhlukana nomlinganiselo wabafundi kwaye zinike abafundi abaqaqambileyo kwiintsapho ezingenazo iimbali zeekholeji zeklasi ithuba lokufuna into ebaluleke nangcono kunokuba abazali babo banakho. Ngaphandle kwithuba, kukho imingeni kubafundi beekholeji zokuqala.

Ukungabi nolwazi malunga neCandelo leKholejiAbazali kunye nosapho abaya kwiikholeji banolwazi oluninzi kunye namabali amaninzi malunga namava abo asekholejini ukuba bahlanganyele nabantwana babo. Nangona izinto ezininzi zitshintshile ekubeni zisesikolweni, inkqubo ebalulekileyo yokushiya ikhaya, ukuhlala kwindawo yokulala kunye nokuziphendulela. Kubafundi bokuqala bekholejini, olo lwazi alufumaneki.
Isizathu sokuya ekholejini xa kungekho mzali akwenzileyo kuncinci kakhulu. Izihlandlo ezine zabafundi bezizukulwana zokuqala ziya kuphuma kwiikholeji xa kuthelekiswa noontanga babo ubuncinane nomzali omnye ophishekela imfundo ephakamileyo.

UkuthotywaUkushiya intsapho yangasemva ukuya kwikholeji kude nekhaya akulula kubafundi abasaqalayo, kodwa kubafundi besizukulwana sokuqala, ukukhulelwa ekhaya kunye nobukhulu bahlala bedibanisa netyala. Ngokukodwa kubafundi abavela kwiintsapho ezifudukela kwamanye amazwe abahlala besithethi sasekhaya lesiNgesi kwindlu yabo, kunokuba nomvakalelo ongenangqondo kwaye onzima ukuba baye balahla intsapho yabo.
Njengabo bonke abafundi beekholeji abashiya ekhaya, ukufumana ubuhlobo obutsha kunye nolwalamano kwikholejini kuyindawo ebalulekileyo yokudibanisa kwi-campus life.
Abafundi bekholeji bokuqala bahlala befuna iingcebiso malunga nendlela yokusingatha olu hlobo loxinzelelo, kwaye maxesha amaninzi kufuneka bathathe isigqibo sokuba ngubani na onokumshiya. Ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka abafundi bafunde indlela yokudala umgama phakathi kwabo kunye nabahlobo beenkcubeko zasekhaya abafuna ubudlelwane babo ukuba bahlale bebekho ngaphambili kwikholeji. - I-Posters's Postings, i-University of Stanford

IiMali kunye noBomi beNtlaloInani labafundi abatsha kwii-campus eziphakamileyo ezisezizukulwaneni ze-elite ezizizukulwana zokuqala - i-11 ekhulwini e-Dartmouth, iipesenti ezili-12 e-Princeton, iipesenti ezili-14 e-Yale, iipesenti ezili-15 e-Amherst, iipesenti ezili-16 e-Cornell, iipesenti ezili-17 e-Brown - ziphantse zifanane neengeniso zabo eziphantsi Abanikezeli bamagalelo. - I-New York Times
Kwizikolo ze-Ivy League nakwezinye iikhampasi eziphakamileyo kulo lonke ilizwe, izifundo, igumbi kunye nebhodi, kwaye iincwadi zihlala zifunyaniswa ngutitshala, izibonelelo kunye neminye imithombo yabafundi bokuqala. Ukuthatha inxaxheba kwi-campus ubomi bentlalo, nangona kunjalo, inokuthi ilahle ikhulu okanye amawaka eerandi ngaphezulu. Ingaba isikolo sinomdla osebenzayo wamaGrike okanye abafundi bachitha iiveki zabo kunye neeholide ezihambayo, zikho iindlela ezininzi zokuba isizukulwana sokuqala, abafundi abafumana imali engaphantsi bayishiywe ngaphandle kweekholeji. Oku kungongeza kwivalelo yokuba ngumntu ongaphandle, ngokukodwa kwiikholeji ezincinane kwiindawo ezikude apho ezinye izinto ezingekho.

Inkxaso evela kwiKhayaUkungabikho kwenkxaso evela kwintsapho kunye nabahlobo ekhaya, xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abafundi abazungezile, bangenza ukuba abafundi bokuqala beekholejini bazive belahliwe kwaye ngaphandle kokukhuthaza ukuba bahlale bekhosi. Ukulungelelanisa, abo abangazange baye kwiikholeji banokungaqondi iingcinezelo kunye nokuxhalaba aba bafundi bajongene nazo kwaye abanako ukwazi amagama afanelekileyo okuba bawagcine ekulandeleni kwaye bajolise. Kukho imibutho yabacebisi kunye namavolontiya anokuzalisa le mfuno yabafundi bokuqala beekholejini:
- Ndingowokuqala
- Abahlobo bokuqala beGen
- IMelika iyakudinga
- Ilungelo leSizwe

Ukungena kwiCampusEnye yezinto ezibalulekileyo nakweyiphi na iikholeji yendlela yokufumana abafundi abatsha kunye namathuba okubandakanyeka kwi-campus. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kubafundi bokuqala, abangaba kude nekhaya ngokokuqala ngqa ebomini babo. Ngaphambi kokuthatha isigqibo malunga nesikolo ukuba sihambe kuzo, izicelo zeekholeji kufuneka zenze iphuzu lokutyelela i-campus kwaye zivakale i-atmospheric, i-demographics kunye nobume bendawo ukuze sibone ukuba yintoni eyenzekayo kwi-campus. Abafundi kufuneka baphande ukuba kukho inhlangano yabafundi bokuqala, njengaleli eHarvard.
Iinjongo ze-Harvard First Generation Union Union Union (FGSU) zi:
(1) Ukuququzelela ukutshintshwa kwikholeji yabafundi bokuqala bokuqala ngokusebenzisa amanyathelo afana nokubonelela ngee-networking mentorship kunye nokwabelana ngemithombo yezemfundo kunye noluntu phakathi kwamalungu; (2) Ukwakha uluntu phakathi kwabafundi bokuqala besikolo saseHarvard; kwaye (3) Ukubonelela uluntu lwabafundi besizukulwana sokuqala ukuba luveze ilizwi labo kwaye zizithethelele. - Harvard FGSU
